Q&A

What are the symptoms of cucumber plants struggling in the heat?

The cucumber plants may start to struggle a bit in the heat, even if they are still nice and green.

How should you fertilize your plants during extreme heat?

During extreme heat, it's best to use a light fertilizer and only give a small sprinkle to each pot rather than a heavy feeding, as smaller meals are better for the plants.

Why is overwatering plants during heat not recommended?

Overwatering during heat can wash all the nutrients out of your pots or garden beds, especially nitrogen since it's water-soluble, and you might end up burning the plants if they get too much water.

What is a sign that your plants are doing better after a rain?

Plants often look better and happier a couple of days after a good rain because water coming down through our nitrogen-rich atmosphere provides them with a little boost.

How often should you feed your plants in hot weather?

It's usually good to feed the plants every three or four days, but it can vary based on the conditions and how the plants look as you water them.

When is the best time to water your plants in hot weather?

It's best to water your plants in the early morning or later in the evenings to avoid the heat of the day.

Is it advisable to start new plantings during very hot temperatures?
